  2. Gently fold in the maraschino cherries, diced strawberries, marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips into the pudding mixture using a large spatula.
  3. Slice bananas and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Carefully fold them into the mixture.
  4. Fold half of the whipped topping into the mixture until just combined, then add the remaining whipped topping and fold again.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to meld flavors.
  6. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with extra chocolate chips, nuts, or cherries.
